DeepReason: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

DeepReason CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from AHepi/DeepReason. It costs 12,033 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for DeepReason, a reasoning tool that records model conjectures, criticism, decisions, and capability changes in files that can be replayed and verified.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when diagnosing problems, planning changes, implementing fixes, or verifying results in DeepReason.
Why use it?
They help agents choose the right workflow and preserve an auditable record instead of treating model-written explanations as proof.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is AHepi/DeepReason's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on DeepReason itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything DeepReason configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

DeepReason CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CLAUDE.md — operating DeepReason

DeepReason is a Popperian reasoning harness: it drives a provider model (qwen3.5:397b on Ollama Cloud for every committed launch since 2026-08-25; glm-5.2 wrote most of the earlier corpus and remains a registered choice) through conjecture–criticism cycles over an append-only, replay-verifiable record. Everything meaningful is TYPED — stops, denials, refusals, capability lifecycles — and the record is the only admissible evidence about what a run did. Model prose is never evidence; log.jsonl, objects/, progress.jsonl, run-status.json, REPLAY_VALIDATION.json, and verify_root are.

MANDATORY for every model working in Claude Code on this repository

Never verify a review without the operator's explicit permission. Operator's words, verbatim (2026-09-05): "Don't not ever verify a review without my explicit permission. Make it for every model working in Claude Code and make it mandatory." Operational reading, binding on the monitor, every executor window, every subagent and every audit or review window: a review-kind task (an audit, a code review, a verdict on a delivered branch, a monitor merge review) READS and REPORTS; it does not run the full gate, docs_verify, the wheel smokes, a soak, a live call, or any other verification instrument to "confirm" what it is reviewing, unless the operator has said so for that task in so many words. Reproducing a single cited check by its own command, where the review brief names it, is reading; anything wider is verification and needs permission. This applies to the monitor's post-merge test rings too: none without permission. The incident: the 2026-09-05 spec-drift audit ran the whole 5,167-test gate for 69 minutes by a mistyped ring command in a read-only window. "I did not mean to" is not permission. Recorded in the operator design laws below as well; this block is here so it is the first rule read.

Which workflow to use

Both families now begin with a MAP PREFLIGHT: resolve the work to DR-SUB-/DR-CON-/DR-SEAM- ids from docs/map/INDEX.md, read the seam before the subsystems, and read INV-frozen-surfaces.md before designing. Record the ids in the tranche's first artifact so every later phase starts from the same map.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
